The design boss for Mercedes-Benz has teased an upcoming concept car set to debut in the coming months, in a new video posted on Instagram.

Chief design officer, Gorden Wagener, shared a short video with his team talking about a new concept, that will be a "big surprise".

The Mercedes-Benz designers say in the clip that the new vehicle will be an "icon" and "very beautiful", while also hinting that the "front end will be quite different" from the IAA concept (pictured) - which is seen in several different sketches during the clip.

Further details about the new Mercedes are kept well under wraps, though Wagener says it will debut "very soon", hinting that it could make an appearance at this year's Concours d'Elegance at Pebble Beach, which commences on August 15.

Other new vehicles making their debut at the Pebble Beach event include the BMW Roadster concept - which previews the replacement for the Z4 sports car.
